Fandom The Tales of New Gotham (DC comics rp)

[Juli Zakstyre]

Lotus infiltrated Harley's estate, wanting to see what was so special about this villainess. She grinned as she quietly slipped past the gate, walking up the green lawn to the front door. She took a petal out of her hair and slid it between the lock, wiggling around until she heard a click. She grinned even wider when she opened the door and slipped inside.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Ivy told her friend she would go inside and drop her bags off. She went to the door to open it forgetting it was locked. Well it should of been the door opened. Ivy new this to be odd for Harley always locked her estate. Ivy summoned her vines. That she new Harley kept around. They snaked through out the house and brought back a struggling girl. Ivy had a murderous look."what Are you doing in Miss Harley Quinn's estate and who are you."Ivy said with a cold look. She would use her toxins on the girl."don't struggle to much it only makes them get tighter and crush you more also those thornes are poisonous. So start talking or I will let you become there first meal in ages."Ivy says.

Lotus smiled despite the predicament she was in. "Finally. A chance to meet Pamela Isley, greatest villain of them all. " She giggled. "I was wondering when I'd finally have the pleasure." She snapped her fingers and a yellow powder puffed in a little cloud. One of the plants wrapped around her fell to the ground, almost as if it were... sleeping. She grinned. "I have a plant power even YOU never knew existed, Ivy." She snapped twice mmore and the remaining plants dropped to the ground. "The name's Lotus." She said, holding out her armored gloved hand out to shake.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Ivy rolled her eye's"what Are you doing in my dear friends house."Ivy says. Her lips in a small grimace. She watched her and Lotus. " able to harness the power if a night flower impressive."Ivy says almost sarcastically.


Harley had dragged Tommy inside by the ear not caring if he protested or not.She stopped seeing Ivy with a girl. "What are you doing in my house and what did you juat say about, Ivy being the greatest Villain of them all. Her hands were on her hips. Her shirt was tied up under her chest and her skirt was low and short her nails were black. She was not happy to find someone else in her estate. Ivy didn't seem happy either especially with her plants seeming to lay life less on the floor. "What did you do to Ivy's children. "She said.

[Juli Zakstyre]

"Oh, dear miss Quinzel, i mean no disrespect. While its true that no one, not even poison ivy, can match your skill now," she grinned evilly, "what I meant was that Miss Isley has been my Idol for a long time." She tsked when Ivy mentioned a night flower. "Oh no, not a nightflower." She took a lotus flower out of her hair. "This is the once thought to be mythical Dreamer's Lotus. Its qualities werenever fully discovered until I had the luck to stumble upon an illegal shipment in greece." She smiled at Harley when asked about the plants. "Oh, dont worry, they're not dead. Just in a very relaxed sleep. This pollen wasn't NEARLY strong enough to kill. Watch." She pulled a small vial from a pouch at her waist, filled with freezing cold water. She opened it and poured it on the plants, which immediately twitched and became awake again.

 

[DrCompton]

Tommy grinned as he watched the three women in the room, he took Harley's hand, "I started my opening act, with one of the local thug kings in the city. Im sure it'll be one the news. Its clear that there is a new, better Joker in the city. And its just the opening act." He smiled widely and looked into her eyes, then looked at Ivy and Lotus, "I want to play with this batman first though, kill his batfriends, starting with his Twerp boy wonder, and that silly little Bat Princess, but thats for the second act. Im getting ahead of myself, tomorrow I plan welcome the CEO of CTG to town with a booming fanfare! And to reveal myself of course!"

 

[Juli Zakstyre]

"Oooh, please, dear Mr. Joker," lotus winked at him. "Leave the boy blunder to me?"


Jay stoid in her apartment, her fuzzy bathrobe and pj pants. She was examining the batcard. "Hmm.. " she was staring at it hard, like it might do something exraordinary. She looked at the photo of the Titans and smiled.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Harley heard this and a grin spread across her face." Oh how I do love it. "She says. Her face almost as happy as can be.Harley looked at Lotus "alright I didn't invite you in now out you go. Next time dont break into people's homes."Harley said.She twinned her fingers in Tommys for appearances only for she still loved her Pudd'in. She had and almost wicked grin on her face.Ivy watched fron her spot. She watched the girl and wanted to kill her with a kiss, but Harley had not given the signal. No one and I mean no one messed with her plants.

[Juli Zakstyre]

"Yes, ladies." She grinned and winked at Tommy, then tu "$rned and walked away, into the night.


Juli stared at the card some more. She sighed and picked up the phone, dialing a number. "Hello, Garth?" She waited and a smile spread across her face: "It's me, Jay." An excited outburst from the phone, and Juli laughed. "Yes, I know it's been a long time." Another pause. "Hey, I have a question for you." Another pause, this one really short. "Hey, You know Rob? Of course you do. Do you know what he's been up to lately?" A "no, I'm sorry" could be heard across the phonee line, and Jay's smile disappeared. "Ok, thanks anyway. Bye" she put down the phone and sighed, flopping down on the couch. "How am I-" she looked out the window at the Batsignal, and she grinned.

Juli smiled and turned to her closet again. She rummaged through it for a piece of tech she hadn't used in a long time. "AHA!" She victoriously pulled out a small, circular walkie talkie. She also grabbed her screwdriverand a radio. She turned on the Radio to Gotham's Biggest hits, where a song was playing. Jay unscrewed the back of the comm link, and unscrewed the metal covering the wires. She fiddled with the wires for a while before hearing the song that was playing on the radio playing on the link. She pressed the respond button, and the radio cut out to fuzz. She took a voice transformer and spoke through it, making her voice sound gravelly and masculine. "Batman. I know you're out there. Come to the alley of third avenue and maple. I have some information that may be valuable to you." She smiled and released the button. The song that was playing before the transmission came back on, continuing like it had never stopped. She laughed as she changed back into her masked alias and loaded her bow, walking out the back door to the alley of third avenue and maple, hiding herselves in the shadows.

The call from Jay came into the cave through the bat computer. The call was coming from an unknown device and Michael immediately started plugging in the proper keyboard sequences to track where if was coming from, he was a natural with computers (like his mom). The call was obviously made by a female who was trying to make herself sound like a man. That part was obvious. When Jay ended the call Michael had it recorded as a file on the computer. With the help of his mom he was able to upload the file into voice recognition software. Almost immediately Jay's old Teen Titan's profile popped up.


Barbara smirked and looked at her husband (@Kyd Jhesus),"An old girlfriend? Should I be jealous?" Obvious she was joking. It was something she did to try and lighten to stressful situations.


She handed Michael Mercury's card and one of the Gotham Knight recruitment card to him. She told him to call him and tell him meet him at the clocktower in an hour.


Michael nodded and followed his mother's order. He didn't get a good first impression off the guy but they did need to get this league stuff figured out. Michael called the cocky tin man (@DrCompton) and left him orders before hanging up. "Gotham clocktower....be there in one hour or the bat-family won't talk league negations," the young teen added brash and full of authority just like his grandfather (Bruce Wayne aka the Batman).


Michael climbed on his red motorcycle and left the cave. He arrived at the clocktower a few minutes later parking the bike in yen secret underground parking garage. He went up the elevator and into the main room. Helena was back. She was in the kitchen loft. Her mask was off and she had a glass of orange juice in her hand. An open pizza box was in the counter and it was already missing a couple sliced She looked at Michael and made a funny face.


"What are you-" She asked before being interrupted.


"We have an ambassador from he league coming in an hour. Mom's idea. Thinks he could be a good addition to the Gotham Knights once they're formed," Michael said heading up to the loft and stealing a slice of pizza from the box.

 

[DrCompton]

Robert listened to the message and made his way toward the clock tower. He walked in his Mercury form and looked around, "Well, I hope they plan on surprising me." He laughed a little at his own lame joke and went to where he was supposed to wait.


Tommy squeezed Harley's hand gently as she intertwined their fingers. She loves me. Tommy grinned as Ivey and the new girl, Lotus, bickered, then he laughed a little as Lotus left. "I like her, she has spunk. She would be useful against the Bats, however, I can't let her kill any of the Bat Family." He frowned, but even in his frown he smiled a little, "Ive got to be better than that old Joke of a Clown, I am Better! Ive just got to show the world Im better!" (@Gilmoregirl12)

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Harley smiles at him her wide grin. Her face was dark and twisted. "Yes The bat family shall fall at our hands."She laughed manicly.when he called her Puddin a Joke. She turned to him with a dark look."Never call my Puddin a Joke even in death."She says." You can show the qorld your better, but never say he was a Joke."Harley said. Ivy watched with a small smile. She was almost as insane as Harley she just hid it betterment when the new Clown said something about the Joker Harley lost it.She walked iver and tapped her friend."He ment no harm dear."She says. Harley nods. " to prove it Bring me Robin. "She says to Tommy smiling again like crazy." And summon all the Villains you can for a meeting tonight in the strom drains." Harley said and let out another Manic laugh.

[Juli Zakstyre]

Lotus hadn't gone far from the estate, and she heard Harley's message for the villains and she grinned, making her way down the streets, puffing a little pollen out here and there on ramdom citizens, until all of the pedestrians on fourth avenue were fast asleep or lounging on the sidewalk without a care in the world. This was her favorite part of her job, watching people relax like that, under her flower's thrall. She walked to the storm drain, sitting near the edge for when the meeting was to be called.

 

[wonderboy1234]

Robin stood patiently waiting on the roof. He saw Mercury approaching and retrieved a batarang from his belt. He threw it down towards the ground at Mercury's feet. There were instructions written on the black metal in a silver sharpie. They read,"Come around back. Knock on the dumpster three times."


@DrCompton

 

[DrCompton]

Mercury read the note and walked around and knocked three times. "Alrighty." He looked around and yawned a little. "Come out come out little bat."

 

[Kyd Jhesus]

"Tails, The last time i played that game with that coin I called heads, Didn't go too well." Dick told barbra. He then looked at his son. He will have to have a talk with him, Make sure his anger never consumed him. He has seen the paths and angry robin walks and the kind of man he becomes.


"Very Funny, Would be scared if any of them had found me." He joked himself. "I would rather have superman trying to kill me then deal with them."


When Micheal was leaving he said "When your back me and you are going to have a serious talk!" He said trying to be a stern father. He was more light with his parenting, He think that could be the reason he is so rebellious.

 

[wonderboy1234]

Barbara looked at her husband and then at Michael as he left the cave. She looked into the blue eyes behind the cowl. For a slip second he thought he was staring at Bruce. When michael was gone she looked at him and smirked. "We need to be harder on him," Barbara said. She opened up the police file and started to skim it over. "So should you go deal with this Jay person or should I? I feel I should head to clocktower and make sure Michael isn't too rude this this mercury fellow."


Robin punched numbers into a key pad from the center of computers the middle of the room on the top floor. On the ground the brick wall behind the dumpster Mercury had knocked slid open revealing an elevator. Huntress chuckled from her spot behind Michael. "You told him to knock on the dumpster? That so immature," Huntress ruffled Michael's hair and hugged him from behind like an older sister before she started tickling his sides.


"Stop it! Stop it!" Michael shrieked started to giggle because of the tickling. Huntress stopped and walked back up to the ladder leading to the loft.


"The last slice of pizza is mine...I call dibs," Michael called up at her.


"I'm the one who ordered it so it's mine," Helena retorted continuing her climb up the ladder.

 

[DrCompton]

Mercury stepped back and looked at the elevator then stepped into it. "Well this is.. different." he started to whistle lightly as he waited for the elevator to take him wherever it was Michael and Helena were going to have it take him

 

[Kyd Jhesus]

"I'll take her, You go handle huntress and Micheal. It is strange, Must have been talented to get into a com links. This stuff is on the same level the league is using. This must be a league member." Dick gave his wife a kiss and ran off "I'll leave the Batmobile for you." He said as he got on his motor cycle. "Wow, I just notice how many of use have bikes." He said with a laugh.


Dick drove out of the cave and to the 3rd Alley in Maple. He got off and walked into the Alley, He knew this could be a trap but he was prepared. "I'm here...Show your self, I have no time for games." He said now more serious. He was on the job know, Someone had broke into the com link and that just put them on the radar.

 

[Juli Zakstyre]

Jay smiled in the shadows. "Hello Dickie boy. Been awhile." She stepped out and flashed the silver bat card. "Invitation I suppose." She could see he didn't know who she was. "Oh, come on, Dick, you cant have forgotten me, can you?" She sighed. "You didnt even recognize me at the reunion three years ago either." She laughed ruefully.

 

[Kyd Jhesus]

"Oh I remember, I can't forget a old friend now can I Juli... I also can't forget what you been up too." He responded walking up to her. "Rule 1, Never say my name when I am in costume and I will not say yours!" He told her as he took a step closer. "So lets talk, Why didn't you address us in your normal voice Jay? Also, What are you in New: Gotham, Trying to clean up your act?" He asked with a demanding voice. Dick never did fully forgive Jay for going to the bad side. He never for gave Jason for the things he did.

 

[Juli Zakstyre]

Jay held her ground. "I've changed, remember?" She sighed and looked at the ground. "Look, I just-" she put her head in her hand-"I'm sorry, ok? You know as well as anyone what I'm like." She looked at him in the eye. " I AM trying to make up for what I did." In answer to his communication question: "Do you know how many baddies would be on our tail if I hadn't used the voice scrambler? A lot. I've made some bad enemies while I was gone, and I didn't want to set those on you." She sighed and then stopped, looking back across the alley, alert and on guard. "Did you hear that?" It was completely silent, save for a few crickets.

 

[Kyd Jhesus]

"A lot of people say they changed, Few do." He watch her turn her eyes from him, Her regret looked genuine. "Sorry? I am not the one who needs a apology Jay, The people you hurt do. I thought i knew who you were but then you went and did that, Became a new person." He then walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder."Okay Jay...That's all i need to hear."


"Well all have our own share of bad guys who want are heads. Now that I wear this cowl, It's like wearing a target on my back." He saw how defensive Jay became, He turn around and looked behind him. "I heard nothing..." He the switched his gaze over Jay. "So is this going to be like old times? We should play a game..." He cracked his knuckles and gave her a smile. "The person with the most guys down is the winner."

 

[Juli Zakstyre]

"No... Wait...." Normally Jay would jump up at a chance to make amends, but this time, she was on the alert. "It's too quiet..." She Turned down the alley that cut between 3rd avenue and 4th, running down. "Come on! Something's wrong!" She skidded to a stop and scowled. Usually there would have been horns, talking and chatter, sounds of motorcycles and cars' engines. But there was nothing. It was dead silent, save for a few crickets. She looked around at all the stopped cars, all of the headlights off. She walked up to a window. The driver's window was down, and he was... sleeping? That didn't make any sense. She tried another car, then another, the results all the same. She turned to the sidewalk and saw the pedestrians, who were supposed to be home or at work, asleep on the floor. Dresses, sweaters, jeans, shorts, t-shirts, no matter what the wear, the people were all fast asleep. Oh no... Not this again! "Batman!" Jay called over her shoulder.


Lotus smiled from the top of a building. She had gotten bored with waiting by the storm drain, so she decided to have a little fun with the citizens. She saw Jay, scowling and puzzling over this. She heard the bird brain call out to Batman. Lotus smiled, assuming that this was the old Robin, the first and the most authoritative of the Proteges, and she grinned Cheshire-style. This was going to be perfect. She pulled out a small pod, rolling it between her fingers and tossing it in the air, waiting for the right moment.

 

[wonderboy1234]

Barbara knew that Huntress was probably with Michael in the clock tower and she would at least help him be polite. She was pretty brash but she was usually polite when she first met someone new. She climbed onto her motorcycle and chucked to herself. They did ride a lot of motorcycles. The Batmobile was a classic but it was also big and bulky. The cycles were slim and faster, at least in Barbara's opinion. She followed her husband at a safe distance and listened in on Jay and his conversation from the roof tops above.


Michael typed in a sequence of numbered on the radio elevator controls. The elevator doors shut in front of Mercury and he was carried to the top floor of the clocktower. When the doors open Michael and Helena stood arms crosses in front of the door.


"Welcome to the head quarters of the Birds of Prey...or well it used to be before they disbanded after the fall of Gotham," Huntress said walking over a lounge area with two arm chairs and a couch. Michael followed her. "Have a seat on yen couch...don't make yourself too comfortable," Michael said sitting in one of the armchairs. Huntress took a seat in the other.
